Sidharth Shukla had 'forcibly' given money to Pratyusha Banerjee's parents during their financial crisis

Sidharth Shukla's death has made us all numb. The actor passed away at the age of 40 after suffering from a massive heart attack and fans are still trying to process that he is no more. The fact that he was a friendly man is known to all. Now, his Balika Badhu co-star, Pratyusha Banerjee's father has revealed that he was a man who was kind as well.

Few months back, Pratyusha Banerjee's parents had revealed that they are going through a financial crisis. Talking to Aaj Tak, Pratyusha's father Shankar Banerjee revealed, "During this lockdown, he used to constantly message me. I got his last message a couple of months ago. He used to ask in the message 'Uncle, aunty do you need help?', 'Are you guys fine?', 'Can I help in any way?' He had forcibly sent ₹20,000."

He also expressed shock at the news of his death and added, "I can't understand how this happened. I considered him to be my son. During Balika Vadhu, Sidharth and Pratyusha had become close friends. He used to come home as well. After Pratyusha's death, many people talked about the relationship between Sidharth and my daughter, because of which Sidharth had stopped coming home. He often asked me in messages on WhatsApp."

Sidharth Shukla was cremated today at Oshiwara Crematorium in the presence of his family and friends. He passed away yesterday morning.
